I bought shares of Tata Steel at INR 1085. What is the long-term outlook for this stake?
Vimal Kumar Mangalam
Tata Steel (1131.85 INR)The stock has seen a sharp correction since August of this year. Strong resistance is in the region of Rs 1,230-1,300. The stock is likely to stay below $1,300 now. Support at ₹ 1,010 – INR 1,000. If the stock can hold above this support, a consolidation between $1,000 and $1,200 is possible for a month or two. Next, a break above INR 1,200 will set the stage for a fresh rally to INR 1,600 – INR 1,650 in the medium term. But, if the stock falls below Rs 1,000, it can fall around Rs 800. You can consider two options. First, buy more shares at Rs 1,020. In case the stock breaks below $1000 and the fall extends, you can buy more at Rs 830. You can keep 720 RUB as a stop loss and keep it for the long term. Second, if you can’t afford to lose even $800, keep your stop loss at $960 now and exit with a loss. Perhaps then you can wait to buy again at INR 830.
